This is HILARIOUS. All you guys are being like "why would something pay for that?", "who thought of this?", "I am not paying for _____".

The ads have already worked. They've already got your attention.

IMO the ads are useless if the business itself is terrible.

I've tried to make purchases at both Sherwood Park Toyota and Spence in the past 3 years. Ad may have got me in the door, but in both cases I went somewhere else pretty damn quick after realizing the commercials are complete lies.

Saved at least 5,000 on a ring and 5,000 on a truck going other places and got something better in the end.

Not 1260 related per say but today while driving and heading to a commercial break on Spec's show (which is pretty good btw), I switched over to the other station to see what Boob Stauffer was on about. I tuned in part way through an interview with some reporter where they were talking about Ales Hemsky, Booby found a way to throw in some unsubstantiated slanderous comments about Ryan Smyth out of the blue yet again.

What a clown this guy is. Throws out baseless and unsupported innuendo assassinating Ryan Smyth's character every chance he gets. Nothing to do with on ice stuff either, its about his character or the contract dispute (if you only knew what I know) he would prattle on, well, why dont you tell us all what you know?

Because it may get you fired or getting served with a subpoena?

These are sad times indeed when we have to put up with this kind of garbage from a supposed "professional" broadcaster.

Two thumbs down Bob.

I kinda agree. If you can't tell us what you know they don't bring it up. Whether or not you know something that backs you, you can't use it as a defense without actually letting us know what you know.

I understand when guys from the media have to keep quiet on certain info that can do damage if released, but you can't keep bringing it up and not telling people. You start to lose your credibility.

Wasn't Bobby the first one on the wagon when they were trying to bring Smyth back to town? I swear he just sways in the wind and does what he's told. Maybe setting us up for Smyth to be one of the buy-outs who knows.

His Ryan Smyth hate is pretty embarrassing.

Did he also mention that he picked LA to win the cup last year?

I like Bob when he isn't bragging about himself or bragging about travelling with the team.

"I can tell you as someone who travels with the team and sees them on a daily basis."

For every you that walks in the door and comes out empty handed. There is another that walks in and comes out with a diamond or a car. The first step is brand awareness and getting them into their door. What happens afterwards is not usually up to the marketing department

I just think it's worse for business when your commercials are completely misleading and not indicative of what actually goes on.

Obviously there are people who don't realize when they're being ripped off and will shop there, but the huge gap between what their commercials say and how their business is conducted really put me off.

If I was looking to buy some jewelry and saw "Spence Diamonds", I'd assume that it's a good place to check out. However, due to their annoying commercials I'll never step into one of their stores. I hate them so much that it's bordering on just plain weird on my part

Saying that they're getting the job done because people are talking about them is false. It's like being happy that everyone is talking about how you have chlamydia because at least you're getting your name out there.

except you guys already have a pre-conceived notion of spence diamonds

i'd like to know the stats on if there are increases in traffic going into the store when that ad is on air. because once again, getting people to the store is step 1. but after that is not necessarily on the marketing department (which i would assume made the ad, although i dont really know if companies like that have a separate marketing department)

My preconceived notion would have been that a pace called Spence Diamonds would be a good place to buy a diamond. However, thanks to their ads, I really don't care if they have good customer service or fair prices. I'll look else where before walking into one of their stores. That's how much I can't stand their radio commercials. They actually hurt the Team1260 in some ways because when those commercials come on, I switch to FM radio and sometimes don't go back.
